Domestic Violence Awareness Australia
Domestic Violence Awareness Australia (DVAA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence and supporting victims across Australia. It maintains records of deaths resulting from domestic violence, emphasizing that these fatalities are specifically attributed to domestic violence rather than intimate partner violence, which encompasses a broader range of abusive relationships. The organization’s data provides critical insights into the prevalence and impact of domestic violence in the country.
